LAB GUIDE

Validate an incoming order

Every order that reaches your lab arrives structured. Your job: verify the clinical information is complete before starting design. No calls. No guessing.

STEP 1
Orders arriving in your inbox
When a surgeon submits an order from TrazaLab, it arrives in your dashboard as a structured case — not as a PDF, not as a WhatsApp message. Every field is typed, every photo verified by Photo Gates.
STRUCTURED DATA FROM SOURCE
Every order includes case type, tooth map, selected material, complete digital prescription, and mandatory photo evidence. The surgeon cannot submit the order without completing every required field.

PHOTO GATES ALREADY VERIFIED
Before the order reaches your inbox, the system already verified that mandatory photos were uploaded. You will not receive orders without photo evidence — that is no longer your problem.

VALIDATIONQuality checklist
Key difference: In a traditional workflow, the lab receives ambiguous instructions and wastes time calling to clarify. On TrazaLab, every field is structured and photos are mandatory. Your validation focuses on clinical quality, not on deciphering intent.
STEP 2
Validation Checklist
TrazaLab generates a checklist specific to the case type. A full arch has 14 items; a crown has 10. Each item is marked pass or fail — and the system will not let you proceed until you make a decision on each one.
ADAPTIVE CHECKLIST
The checklist adapts to the case type. If it is a bridge, it includes abutment verification, cantilever, and interproximal spaces. If it is a full arch, it verifies implant map, gingival height, and VDO.

A SINGLE FAILED ITEM BLOCKS APPROVAL
You cannot approve an order with failed items. TrazaLab will not let you. This protects your lab: every case that enters design has all the information you need.
STANDARD CHECKLIST (10 ITEMS)

Applicable to crowns, veneers, inlays/onlays and single restorations:

Restoration type specified
Tooth/teeth identified
Material selected
Color / shade confirmed
Intraoral photos (minimum 2)
Digital scan / physical impression confirmed
Preparation type adequate
Opposing arch scanned / registered
Occlusal relationship verifiable
Special instructions reviewed
BRIDGE / ARCH CHECKLIST (14 ITEMS)

Includes the standard 10 plus 4 specific to complex cases:

Standard items 1-10 +
Complete implant / abutment map
Vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) specified
Midline and occlusal plane reference
Cantilever / extension verified
No gray area: Every item is binary. Pass or fail. If there is a single failed item, the system forces you to create a sendback before continuing. This eliminates the "maybe it will work" cases that end in rework.
STEP 3
Sendback System
When something is missing or does not comply, you do not call. You do not send a WhatsApp. You create a typed sendback that the surgeon receives as a structured request with clear instructions of what you need.
4 SENDBACK TYPES
Each sendback is automatically classified. The surgeon sees exactly what to correct and how. No ambiguity, no back-and-forth calls.

SENDBACK
CREATE SENDBACK
Sendback: TRZ-2026-0847
SELECT REQUEST TYPE
RESCAN
The digital scan is not usable. Request a new one.
ADDITIONAL PHOTO
A specific photo is needed that was not included.
CLARIFICATION
A field needs more detail or is ambiguous.
CLINICAL CONFLICT
Contradictory data between fields or photos.
SENDBACK REASON
The panoramic x-ray does not have sufficient resolution to distinguish implants #3 and #4. I need a periapical photo of that area or a new panoramic with higher resolution.

INSTANT NOTIFICATION TO SURGEON
The surgeon receives the request immediately in their dashboard. They see exactly which item failed, the sendback type, and the lab instructions. They can respond directly from the platform.

COMPLETE HISTORY
Every sendback is recorded in the case history. If a surgeon asks "why was my case delayed?", you have an auditable record with dates, types, and exact reasons.
Real impact: Labs using typed sendbacks reduce average incident resolution time from 48 hours (calls and WhatsApp) to under 4 hours (structured response on platform).
CLINICAL CONFLICTS: THE MOST CRITICAL TYPE
When the surgeon data contradicts itself (e.g., shade A2 in prescription but A3 in notes, or an implant map that does not match the x-ray), the "Clinical Conflict" sendback escalates priority and flags the case in red until resolved.
VISIBILITY
Surgeon Competency
TrazaLab automatically tracks the quality of orders you receive from each surgeon. Approval rate, frequent sendbacks, response time. No extra effort on your part — data accumulates with every case.
AUTOMATIC METRICS
No need to keep a manual log. TrazaLab calculates first-attempt approval rate, sendback frequency by type, and average response time for each surgeon. Data is always current.

IDENTIFY PROBLEMATIC PATTERNS
If a surgeon has a low approval rate, TrazaLab shows you which sendback type they generate most. Always missing the occlusal photo? Scans never usable? You can have a data-driven conversation, not a frustrated one.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Surgeons who receive structured sendbacks learn fast. You will see their approval rate climb month over month. TrazaLab turns every error into a documented lesson.
Key insight: Labs with 50+ cases on TrazaLab report that their surgeons first-attempt approval rate rises from ~70% to ~90% within the first 3 months. Structure teaches.
INFORMED DECISION
Want to prioritize surgeons who send clean orders? Now you have data to do it. Surgeon competency is not an opinion — it is a verifiable number.
